GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Byron Center and Forest Hills Central make up part of a three-way tie at the top of the OK White standings with East Grand Rapids.
When the Bulldogs meet the Rangers on Friday night in the Game of the Week on the Blitz only one can remain unbeaten.
Forest Hills Central outscored Byron Center 14-0 in the second half last season to pull out a 21-13 win in week three.
"I just remember a very competitive game, so competitive," Bulldogs senior Coen Vandenberge said about last year's game. "A lot of mistakes that we can fix this year. I don't really let last years game boggle us down, I'm more confident than ever this year."
FHC has won three straight conference titles and 19 consecutive divisional games in the OK White.
"We have to be physical, they are a really physical team," Forest Hills Central senior Ty Hudkins said about Byron Center. "They have a lot of weapons and coach Cisco is a great coach. We just have to be really physical and do our jobs on defense and hopefully we will come out on top."
